The Pilates Science Podcast

The Pilates Science Podcast is your accessible link between Pilates research and real-world practice. Hosted by Bruce Hildebrand with PAA President and PilatesScience.org curator Robyn Rix, the show translates key studies into plain English so teachers, students and enthusiasts can confidently apply evidence in the studio.

Each episode breaks down important research or explores the broader evidence around topics like chronic pain, neurological conditions, mental health and recovery—drawing on the PilatesScience.org library that helped support Pilates’ reinstatement in Australia’s Private Health Insurance rebates.

Featuring insights from researchers, instructors and clinical professionals, the podcast explores where science meets lived experience and how evidence can sharpen—not replace—the art of teaching.

Tune in, stay curious and keep learning why Pilates works as well as it does.
